You can do just about anything around the house with access to Walmart. I on the other hand was looking for an excuse to buy one of the new Elios Automobiles. Now I may have one.
Steve: IMHO if for health reasons a person's driver's license was revoked, taken away by a family member, etc it would seem to me that the cause for such action would also apply to a golf cart , especially a golf cart that could travel the streets.

Some may recall wherein a guy from Oxford took to running his golf cart on the multi-modal paths because his license was revoked due to sight issues. He ran down a pedestrian on the multi-modal path. there have been other accidents here attributed to health-related issues. I was at Aldi's this AM and noticed the constant cart traffic exiting the cart path behind the store. So apparently cart drivers in that area are not hampered?

The Viilages was specifically built for cart access accommodations. Each of us chose with an understanding of life's trade offs. I take no satisfaction in saying that or of people's potential remorse, especially at this late stage in our lives. It is simply stated as a fact. In that same vein people can choose again. It is not uncommon for residents here to buy more than once in The Villages.

I wish you the best.
